Overview
Most private Agra itineraries bolt a guide and a car onto a single rushed day. This one is built around a different idea: two unhurried days, a base at the one hotel in Agra where every room looks directly onto the Taj Mahal, and a route that includes the monuments a single-day circuit almost always skips. You arrive by private luxury vehicle with your own chauffeur, check into The Oberoi Amarvilas — just 600 metres from the Taj Mahal's East Gate, with uninterrupted views of the monument from every room — and spend two days moving at the pace the destination actually deserves, with Riyaz's own historical interpretation throughout rather than a recited script.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from a standard private Taj Mahal tour with a guide and car?
It's built around the stay, not just the sightseeing — a night at the only hotel in Agra where every room faces the Taj Mahal, a two-day pace instead of one rushed day, and monuments like Itmad-ud-Daulah and Mehtab Bagh that most single-day circuits leave out entirely.
Why is the price 'On Request' instead of a fixed number?
The Oberoi Amarvilas prices by room category and season, so we confirm a final quote once we know your travel dates and preferred room type.
Can we add the private candlelit dinner or a spa treatment?
Yes — both are offered by the hotel as optional extras. Let us know when booking and we'll arrange them alongside your itinerary.
